Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to a sliding mechanism, and more particularly to a sliding mechanism for information products capable of sliding automatically.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the increase in use of personal mobile devices in recent years, the sliding mechanisms of the personal mobile devices are diverse and mature. A sliding mechanism for a personal mobile device is illustrated in the Taiwanese Utility Model Patent Number M390622. FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of a sliding mechanism according to the Taiwanese Utility Model Patent Number M390622. Referring to FIG. 1, the sliding mechanism 10 comprises a main plate 20, two elastic modules 30 and a sliding plate 40. The main plate 20 comprises a main board portion 21, two guiding slots 22, two liners 23 and a guider 24, and the sliding plate 40 comprises a sliding board portion 41, two guiding rails 42, two sliding through slots 43 and two positioning apertures 44.

Referring to FIG. 1 also, the guiding slots 22 of the main plate 20 are located at two sides of the main plate 20, formed as C shaped structures by folding side edges of the main plate 20, and capable of assembling with the liners 23 and the guiding rails 42 of the sliding plate 40. Therefore, the sliding plate 40 is capable of sliding stably relative to and not likely to be separated from the main plate 20. In addition, the elastic modules 30 are disposed in the sliding through slots 43 of the sliding plate 40, wherein one end of the elastic modules 30 are fixed to the positioning apertures 44, and the other end of the elastic modules 30 lean against guiding portions 242 of the guider 24.

FIG. 2 illustrates an operating schematic view of the sliding mechanism according to the Taiwanese Utility Model Patent Number M390622. Referring to FIG. 2, when the sliding plate portion 41 slides a predetermined distance relative to the main plate portion 21, elastic forces generated by the elastic modules 30 are increased to maximum due to the presses provided by the guiding portions 242. Therefore, when the sliding plate portion 41 slides over the predetermined distance relative to the main plate portion 21, the elastic forces generated by the elastic modules 30 are decreased due to deformation of the guider 24 decreases the presses provided by the guiding portions 242. Accordingly, the elastic forces generated by the elastic modules 30 are released, so as to make the sliding plate portion 41 slide automatically relative to the main plate portion 21.

However, the traditional sliding mechanisms are only suitable for the small sliding mechanisms due to the design thereof are usually restricted to shorter sliding distance. In addition, the guiding slots 22 and the guiding rails 42 designed for limiting sliding routes of the main plate 20 and the sliding plate 40 complicate structures of the main plate 20 and the sliding plate 40, and the liners 23 must be disposed in the guiding slots 22 to make the sliding plate 40 slide smoothly relative to the main plate 20. Therefore, manufacturing and assembling costs of the sliding mechanism 10 are significantly increased.

FIG. 8 illustrates a schematic view of the sliding mechanism operated with a first movement according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8 herein after, when the second board 620 slides a first distance a relative to the first board 610 as illustrated in FIG. 8, the frame 640 moves together with the second board 620, and thus a distance between the frame 640 and the first fixed piece 630 a and a distance between the frame 640 and the second fixed piece 630 b are reduced. Therefore, the first linkage 661 a of the first sliding element 660 a passes through the opening 641 a of the first opening set of the frame 640 to drive the first push bar 662 a to move along the first direction A. At the same time, the second linkage 661 b of the second sliding element 660 b passes through the opening 641 d of the second opening set of the frame 640 to drive the second push bar 662 b to move along the second direction B. Hence, the first elastic element 650 a passed through by the first push bar 662 a and the second elastic element 650 b passed through by the second push bar 662 b are deformed due to being pressed respectively by the first protruding portion 663 a of the first push bar 662 a and the second protruding portion 663 b of the second push bar 662 b, so as to make the first elastic element 650 a and the second elastic element 650 b generate elastic forces. In the present preferred embodiment, each of the first elastic element 650 a and the second elastic element 650 b is a compression spring, and each of the first protruding portion 663 a of the first push bar 662 a and the second protruding portion 663 b of the second push bar 662 b is a plate capable of being forced averagely by the first elastic element 650 a and the second elastic element 650 b respectively.

Referring to FIG. 9, when the second board 620 slides a second distance b relative to the first board 610 as illustrated in FIG. 9, the frame 640 moves together with the second board 620, and thus a distance between the frame 640 and the first fixed piece 630 a and a distance between the frame 640 and the second fixed piece 630 b are increased. Hence, the first linkage 661 a of the first sliding element 660 a passes through out of the opening 641 a of the first opening set of the frame 640 to drive the first push bar 662 a to move along the second direction B, and the second linkage 661 b of the second sliding element 660 b passes through out of the opening 641 d of the second opening set of the frame 640 to drive the second push bar 662 b to move along the first direction A. Therefore, the first elastic element 650 a passed through by the first push bar 662 a and the second elastic element 650 b passed through by the second push bar 662 b are not pressed respectively by the first protruding portion 663 a of the first push bar 662 a and the second protruding portion 663 b of the second push bar 662 b anymore, so as to make the second board 620 slide automatically relative to the first board 610 due to the first elastic element 650 a and the second elastic element 650 b release the elastic forces.

In the present preferred embodiment, the first distance a is smaller than the second distance b. In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the second board 620 further comprises a first groove 622 a and a second groove 622 b. The first groove 622 a is disposed on a moving route of the first push bar 662 a, and the first groove 622 a has a plurality of teeth 623 a therein, while the second groove 622 b is disposed on a moving route of the second push bar 662 b, and the second groove 622 b has a plurality of teeth 623 b therein. When the second board 620 slides relative to the first board 610, the first push bar 662 a moves along the first direction A or the second direction B and generates a friction with the plurality of teeth 623 a in the first groove 622 a, and the second push bar 662 b moves along the first direction A or the second direction B and generates a friction with the plurality of teeth 623 b in the second groove 622 b, so as to provide a plurality of steps during the second board 620 slides. Accordingly, it is able to enrich hand feelings during users operate the sliding mechanism 600.

According to the above mentioned preferred embodiments, it can be understood that the sliding mechanism of the present invention limits the first sliding element by the frame disposed over the second board and the first fixed piece disposed on the first board, so as to hold the second board between the first board and the first sliding element. In addition, when the second board slides relative to the first board, the distance between the first fixed piece and the frame is changed, and thus the first elastic element is deformed due to the first sliding element moves, so as to generate and release elastic forces. Therefore, the second board may slide automatically relative to the first board without disposing guiding rail structures or adding liners in the guiding slots. Such a structure is not only suitable for longer sliding distance, but also has advantages of having simple structures and easily assembling, so as to enhance the production efficiency of the sliding mechanism.

Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described, it will be understood by those of skill in the art that there are other embodiments that are equivalent to the described embodiments. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by the specific illustrated embodiments, but only by the scope of the appended claims.
